The 82905B can be converted to Centronics but it will only talk
in HP escape sequences rather than Epson sequences.  So, if you just
have text applications that support HP or are configurable to support
HP then the conversion is worth your effort.

Procedure:  

(Warning: This will void your warranty)

1) Take the knob off.
2) remove the top cover.
3) There is an interface board for your (I assume HPIB) interface.
   Remove the board.
4) Reassemble the printer.

The interface board uses the Centronics interface to communicate with
the printer.  With the interface board removed, the bus contention is
removed.
